Zootfly to develop a new Ghostbusters game?

Who're you gonna call?


There's something strange in the neighborhood. Spectres are floating about the intahrwebs about Ghostbusters game being pitched by ZootFly, the developer responsible for such games as Panzer Elite Action. The Ghostbusters Message Board is certainly abuzz with visions of crossing proton streams (don't ever, ever CROSS the proton streams!!!) and having to deal with Slimer's midnight messes.

Is there a game coming, though? The image you see above comes from a PDF file of a presentation delivered by ZootFly's Bostjan Troha... and in a Slavic language. There are two YouTube videos below, coming from bostjanzoot - presumably Bostjan's YouTube profile - of the prototype game. Such videos would be used in their sales pitch to potential investors and publishers, no doubt.

Next - IF ZootFly is devving (or would like to dev) a Ghostbusters game, which platform? (Why do you think we're posting this on all the games platforms? We don't know either). Their company website does mention their plans to develop on next-gen consoles. ZootFly did have experience devving for the original Xbox and the PC. But this doesn't necessarily rule out development on handhelds, either (Hey, beats lugging a proton pack the weight of a nuke reactor).





Finally: how would a Marshmallow Man boss battle play out like? 'Cause I got a ton of hot chocolate that needs some TLC.

Let this happen. Sony owns the Ghostbusters, and I cant think of one person who wouldnt want to play this.



A Wii and PS3 game would be so damn perfect- using the wiimote as the proton pack?



4 Player Co Op on PS3? PLEASE, DO IT!!!

Ghostbusters the movie sucked, and ghostbusters the game will suck. You can't make a good game out of a bad movie.

» Ghostbusters the game sweet.

Well I am all for Ghostbusters the game the movies are classics even though the person above me thinks they suck.



But if there was to be a game I could see it coming out on all the systems. PSP,PS3,PC,360,Wii and different version for the DS.



So this is great news if it is true. I can't wait to play this. That is if its true.

» wow

now i gotta go watch it again! lol. i've always loved the ghostbusters and i think it's awesome that theres going to be a game.



Personally i'd like a full console sweep, but i gotta say this would probably be the most fun on the Wii. But i think it should be PS3,360,PC,Wii. and i guess you could port it to PSP/DS but make it a different game.



Either way this looks great.

The eight year old in me just wet himself.

I love the ghostbusters franchise even the short lived New Ghostbusters cartoon. I think this game would do well but the core gameplay seems flawed.



"Ghost terminated" just dosent sit right with me. You cant kill something that's dead. Also there are too many ghosts. One to four per level. make it difficult to capture them and involve a AI partner, like Army of two. The ecto blaster needs to somehow involve both analog sticks kinda like the knockout feature in fight night round three. And They really do need the original actors to do the voice overs. Any other suggestions for the game?

Look in the upper right of the posted image and you will see a "Gears of War" brute.



BAM!



But I wish it were true....

» Please no

Realistically Ghostbusters isn't a very good movie, but I liked it and it's still a cult classic, this game would not do it justice (they never do) so just don't

» Not A Good Movie?

Get your head checked out man, Ghostbusters is an incredible movie. Made AFIs top 100 comedies, as well as a universal approval from all critics. I know its not truly possible to argue opinion, but the movie was written, acted, and produced essentially with no flaws, its a great time!

It was cheesy, and it definitely had not good acting. Maybe its not my type. WHatever, just remember what happened to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Franchise, and wait and see what will happen to the new movie.
